Two men, injured at the Chinchilla Rodeo on Saturday night, required airlifts by the RACQ CareFlight Rescue helicopter.

The first man, in his 40s, was crushed by a horse in a cattle race, suffering suspected head, shoulder and limb injuries.

The second man broke his jaw during the bull ride.

Both were initially treated on the scene by ambulance paramedics before being transported by ambulance to Chinchilla Hospital.

CareFlight was then called in just after 6:00pm to take both men to Toowoomba Hospital for further treatment.

A CareFlight spokesman said both travelled in a stable condition.
